Following several reports surrounding its lack of security, Nothing Chats is gone from the Play Store
  • Nothing Chats, a rival to apps like Beeper and AirMessage, advertised itself as a secure platform for sending messages to iMessage users.
  • However, less than 24 hours after its launch, investigations into the app revealed that Nothing Chats logged every message in plain text and stored unencrypted data, including text messages, images, videos, and more, making it a significant privacy and security risk.
  • The company removed the app from the Play Store following these complaints, citing “several bugs” that need fixing.

    I’d love to find out which group they actually tried to target, but if you’re right - I completely agree. No way I’m handing credentials to my Google account over. That’s why normal companies have APIs.

    RCS might not be perfect, but at least it’s open.

    I really hope EU will continue the trend of forcing Apple to become less of a piece of shit company.
